Yep, it works as expected with 'char' changed to 'short'. I did know
about the fact that char can alias anything, but for some reason I
kept thinking that since I was accessing "char data" through an int
pointer, the compiler would be free to assume such things wouldn't
happen. Totally wrong, of course, for several reasons.

Thanks for the help.
